K - Ah - I have it now - you think the "lazy" misses were intentional.

Bad assumptions. As most of us know, some players flat out can't play that position. Some are just starting and haven't really learned how yet. Sometimes they just blank out. Sometimes the pitcher crosses them up. Sometimes they're POed at their coach and screw up on purpose. "Get the ump" misses are quite rare because the players know the consequences.
